Trask Industries is a reference to a number of characters in Marvel's X-Men universe, all of whom belong to the same family. Bolivar Trask was the creator of the mutant-hunting Sentinels, robots that play a large part in the original "Days of Future Past" comic. Larry Trask, Bolivar's son, was a precognitive mutant that eventually died while fighting a group of Sentinels. Bolivar's daughter, Tanya Trask, was a time traveling member of the Askani with a connection to Rachel Summers and Cable.

The Trask referred to is likely Bolivar, a theory made even more likely by the rumors that actor Peter Dinklage would be portraying the character.
